Program Leaders
Jess Bichler, ERYT500
Yoga School Manager, Jessica Bichler has a rich yogic history, steeped in a variety of trainings and lineages, bringing a wealth of knowledge to her classes, workshops and teacher trainings. Jess came to yoga in her teens, recognizing it as a path towards staying active and healthy throughout every stage of life and began teaching in 2001. Jess has had the opportunity to study myriad yoga styles, particularly the prominent lines of Iyengar, Ashtanga and Anusara – each complimenting her attention to alignment and core engagement gained as a gymnast – as well as therapeutic and kids yoga. Her formal education and certifications were earned at the Morningside School of Yoga in upstate New York, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Massachusetts, and most recently 200 and 500 hour certifications from the Wilmington Yoga Center. Jess holds a MA in Visual and Cultural Anthropology. Her influential teachers include Michael Smith, Stacey Millner-Collins, Cheryl Crawford, Kristin Cooper and Noelle Cavenaugh. Jessica loves developing a wide variety of classes including everything from gentle and chair yoga, to kids yoga, to advanced practices focusing on arm balances and inversions. Her goal is to lovingly support students down the path of living a yogic lifestyle in all aspects.
Keegan White, ERYT500
Keegan White is on faculty for the Kunga Yoga School. She is a graduate of the 200 and 500 hour Kunga Yoga School and holds a B.A. in Dance from UNC-Charlotte. Keegan has been mentored extensively by Kristin Cooper through the mentorship program at WYC and most recently had the opportunity to complete a 300 hour training with Chris and John Yax of Yax Yoga Concepts of Virginia Beach. She is the former Director of Hot Asana Yoga Studio in Durham, NC. She is a certified Kunga Power Vinyasa and Kunga 5Elements Flow teacher and has traveled with Kunga Journeys as a Kunga ambassador for volunteer work at the Home of Hope Orphanage in Kerala, India. After 20 years of competitive dance, she found yoga to be the antidote to begin to heal her body and bring about awareness to change thought patterns. The physical strength, self-awareness and inner peace she’s gained from a consistent yoga practice are what naturally led her to want to help others access the same qualities in themselves. She loves sharing the journey of yoga with others and serenading students with her harmonium and voice in savasana; her light-hearted spirit brings a fun and nurturing environment to her classes.
